Cautions or Warnings
This controller is an Electro-statically sensitive device. Proper ESD protection (ground strap)
should be used when installing this product so that damage to the product does not occur.

Equipment damage or loss of data may occur if these procedures are not followed as specified.

Installations requiring CE conformance: All wiring for CE rated products must use an extra low
voltage (SELV) or protective extra low voltage (PELV) transformer. Use safety-isolating
transformers, (Class II transformer) per EN61558. The transformer must be rated for 100% duty
cycle.

Controller Configuration
Controller Type
Various products have the capability of being configured as one of several
possible controller types, which represents the network level that it will reside
on in the network architecture (Area, System, Subnet). Other than the one AREA
controller acting as a router, all other controllers on the same network segment
must be configured the same. SYSTEM
Area - Configures the controller as an Area level controller on a network. This
is an option only on the Ethernet model and is the setting when the controller is SUBNET
connected to an Ethernet network (typically between buildings) and is acting as
a router from one LAN to either a network of System controllers or Subnet
controllers.

System - Configures the controller as a System level controller on a network of

System controllers. This is the setting when the controller is connected to an
Ethernet or BACnet MS/TP network with other System controllers or is a single
head-end controller for a network of Subnet controllers.

Subnet - Configures the controller as a Subnet level controller on a Subnet of

similar controllers. This is the setting when the controller is connected to a
BACnet MS/TP network with other Subnet controllers.

Note: This also determines where the DIP or MAC address is mapped into the
controllers BACnet address and which other portions of its BACnet address are
inherited when DNA is enabled.

Derived Network Addressing DNA

The DNA jumper comes ON by default. This allows the controller to
automatically configure a BACnet controller address. This should NOT be
removed unless you are assigning a BACnet controller number through
software. The BACnet controller number should not be confused with the DIP
switch setting, and each controller must still have a unique dip switch address
even when using software to define the controller number.

Controller Addressing
The DIP Switch is a binary switch. Each individual DIP switch represents a
unique value, which forms the controller address when added together.

To set the address, simply move the switches that add up to the controllers
desired address to the ON position.

Example: If the controller is to be address 5 on the network, set the switch

numbered 4 and the switch numbered 1 (equals 5) to the On position.

Note: Each controller on the same MS/TP segment must have a unique DIP
switch address.

Wiring General
All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations. Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2
transformers. Do not use autotransformers. Determine supply transformer rating by summing total VA of product
and output loads.

Risk of Electric Shock or Fire

ƒ Input Class 2 Power Supplies are interconnected. Use only Class 2
sources suitable for interconnections.

ƒ All terminals are acceptable for Class 2 Circuit connections only

ƒ Use copper conductors only
ƒ Apply minimum 6.0 lb-in torque for tightening field wires into the terminal
blocks

Power
This product is designed to use a 24VAC Class 2 power supply. A single transformer may be used to power
multiple controllers and/or auxiliary field devices (actuators, etc.) provided the following conditions are met:
ƒ All devices MUST be ½ wave rectified. Mixing power between ½ wave and full wave rectified devices
will damage both the transformer and connected equipment.
ƒ The transformer is properly sized, including line losses for the total VA requirements.
ƒ Polarity is observed between controllers (with respect to 24~ and Gnd).
ƒ Each controller is grounded as shown in the diagram below. This is important to protect equipment and
ensure a common ground reference for RS-485 communications.
ƒ The transformer secondary is fused for its maximum rated load (4A max for Class 2 circuits).

Existing Installations

If the DSC-R1616E is replacing an existing Mini or Mini Turbo controller then the existing transformer can be
used to power the new controller.

Page 6 of 14
 Document Edition 1.2

New Installation

If the DSC-R1616E is being used in a new installation then a dedicated transformer of at least 30VA should be
used.

Make sure to ground the controller using the ground lug that is available on the
controller. The controller uses the ground lug to establish a common reference for
communications. If the controller is not grounded then communication problems
may occur.

Network Communication
This controller communicates in a variety of ways in order to effectively handle communications on a mixed V2
and V3 site. This controller uses the Zone Controller Protocol so that it can talk to existing zone controllers. It is
also equipped with Ethernet and MS/TP communications in order to communicate with V3 controllers and other
networks. The Ethernet port is the main network, which replaces the INET port on the Mini Turbo controller.

V2 Zone Controller (RS-485) Wiring

V2 Mini and Mini Turbo controllers used 3 terminals for Zone Protocol communications. They were –, + and
Shield.

In the DSC-R1616E the Zone Controller Port only uses two terminals, therefore the shield must be tied to
ground.

V3 MS/TP (RS485) Wiring

For detailed information on MS/TP wiring refer to Delta Controls Wiring Guidelines.
ƒ The proper specified cabling must be used to ensure reliable communications. (22-24 AWG
twisted pair, 100-120 ohms impedance, 17 pF/ft or lower capacitance, with a braided or aluminum
foil shield.)

Page 7 of 14
Delta Controls

ƒ Controllers should always be wired together in a daisy-chain fashion. Attempting to connect them
using a starred or bus configuration will cause problems on the network.
ƒ Networks with a total length greater than 4000 ft or with more than 50 controllers require a
repeater (RPT-768).

Refer to Appendix E in the V3.33 ORCAview Technical Reference Manual for further details.

It is not recommended to use the existing Zone Controller wiring for MS/TP
communications. This wire may not be up to MS/TP standards and
communication problems may occur.

Input and Output Wiring

Inputs and outputs on the DSC-R1616E controller follow the same general wiring connection diagrams as other
Delta Controls products. Refer to separate documentation for additional details.

Input Configuration
The input must be configured to accept the signal used by
the input device. Place the jumper for each input in the
correct location on the Input Type Selector Block. The
diagram to the right shows the factory default selection of
10 KΩ.

4-20mA ƒ For sensors that use a 4 to 20 mA signal.

10K ƒ For 10 KΩ Thermistor temperature

sensors, as well as Dry Contact binary
inputs.

5V ƒ For sensors that use a 0 - 5 VDC signal.

10V ƒ For sensors that use a 0 -10 VDC signal.

Input Jumper Upgrade Procedures

Intelli-Con Mini – ICP020

The ICP-020 uses a SIP to set the input setting. The default setting is 10K. To change the setting to 0-5V the
SIP leg corresponding to the correct input needs to be cut. To upgrade this controller to the DSC-R1616E the
following steps need to take place.

1) On the ICP-020 pull out the SIP and lay it on a table. Position it so that the pins are to the right and the
writing on the side of the SIP is pointed down.

2) On the DSC-R1616E set the jumper positions to 0-5V for any pins that are cut and set all others to
10K.

The diagram below outlines the procedure.

Intelli-Con Mini Turbo– ICP-023/ICP-025

The ICP-023/ICP-025 use a jumper to set the input setting. The default setting is SIP (10K). To upgrade this
controller to the DSC-R1616E the following steps need to take place.

1) On the ICP-023/ICP-025 determine the jumper position.

2) On the DSC-R1616E set the jumper to the position determined in the above step.

The diagram below outlines the procedure.
